Esketamine facilitate psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder: A retrospective case series of six patients

Medication-enhanced psychotherapies are increasingly used to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Esketamine, used in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), sounds very promising as a new treatment for PTSD. Thus, our main objective was to investigate whether Esketamine associated with psychotherapy could reduce symptoms of both depression and PTSD in patients with complex PTSD.
